KNYSNA NEWS - Learners of Chris Nissen Primary School and Knysna Primary School in Knysna marked World Book Day with vibrant celebrations that highlighted the power of reading, writing and imagination.
At Chris Nissen Primary, learners stepped into the role of young authors as they created their own handmade storybooks.
Grade Four learners wrote personal stories drawn from their own lives, reflecting family moments, friendships and everyday experiences in their own voices.
Grade Six learners explored broader themes, writing imaginative stories inspired by nature, animals and people. Their work reflected both creativity and a growing awareness of the world around them.
